Hi,
I’m trying to create a custom scanner because I like to name my shows differently, e.g.
Show #1.14.mkv instead of Show S01E14.mkv
I know, I’m stubborn.
I had this working perfectly under Plex 8, but I understand there have been changes. After reading the forums, this is what I did:
[list]
[] Create a new folder here: /Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Scanners/Series
[] Copied the file “/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plug-ins/Scanners.bundle/Contents/Resources/Series/Plex Series Scanner.py” into that folder.
[] Renamed the new copy to “My Scanner”.py
[] Changed the lines
[/list]
episode_regexps = [ <br />
'(?P<show>.*?)[sS](?P<season>[0-9]+)[\._ ]*[eE](?P<ep>[0-9]+)([- ]?[Ee+](?P<secondEp>[0-9]+))?', # S03E04-E05<br />
'(?P<show>.*?)[sS](?P<season>[0-9]{2})[\._\- ]+(?P<ep>[0-9]+)', # S03-03<br />
'(?P<show>.*?)([^0-9]|^)(?P<season>[0-9]{1,2})[Xx](?P<ep>[0-9]+)(-[0-9]+[Xx](?P<secondEp>[0-9]+))?', # 3x03<br />
'(.*?)[^0-9a-z](?P<season>[0-9]{1,2})(?P<ep>[0-9]{2})([\.\-][0-9]+(?P<secondEp>[0-9]{2})([ \-_\.]|$)[\.\-]?)?([^0-9a-z%]|$)' # .602.<br />
]

epsiode_regexps = [<br />
'(?P<show>.*?)[ ][#](?P<season>[0-9]+)[\._ ]*[\.](?P<ep>[0-9]+)([- ]?[Ee+](?P<secondEp>[0-9]+))?',<br />
'(?P<show>.*?)[#](?P<season>[0-9]{1,2})[\.](?P<ep>[0-9]+)(-[0-9]+[Xx](?P<secondEp>[0-9]+))?',<br />
'(?P<show>[A-Za-z0-9\!'\-\. ]+) #(?P<season>[0-9]+)\.(?P<ep>[0-9]+)?'<br />
]<br />
[list]
[*] And finally, went to "Edit Section" in the Media Server to use my scanner.
[/list]
Before I started this, my shows were actually being found... mostly. Episodes 10-19 started to disappear though, so I created the new scanner. It hasn't helped. I made my own regexp in Plex 8 and didn't have a problem, but I don't know what's going wrong here.
The other problem is 30 Rock, where for each season it seems to only think episode 30 is there. That's definitely not right. Again, the same regex in 8 found them all.
For the curious, here's what I had in Plex 8 in advancedsettings.xml that worked perfectly:
<br />
<tvshowmatching action="prepend"><br />
<regexp>Season ([0-9]{1,3})/[A-Za-z0-9\!'\-\. ]+ #[0-9]{1,3}\.([0-9]{1,3})*</regexp><br />
<regexp>Series ([0-9]+)/[A-Za-z0-9\!'\-\. ]+ #[0-9]+\.([0-9]+)*</regexp><br />
</tvshowmatching><br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
